One of our exchanges referring
to the Turner banquet says:
1T is so seldom that a Marylan d
official is found, it appears, in these
days of corruption, to regard his
oath of office, and his sworn duty,
that honest men of both political
parties have to banquet him fol
doing that which he knows is his
imperative duty, as was in the case
of the present Comptroller of Mary
land. This is certainly a reflection
on his predecessors in that office, to
say the least"
The Easton Democrat, Mr.. Tur-
ner's home organ, referring to the
matter says:
Eve believe in giving Mr.. Turner
all the credit he deserves for doing
his duty as the law commands him,
but we think some of his friends are
making o mistake in lauding him
to the skies for performing his
statutory duty. We do not think
that it issuch a rare thing for a
prominent official of the State to
obey the law that when one does so
he should be singled out as a hero.
That is what he is there for, that is
what he is sworn to do, obey the
laws as enacted by the General As
semblY and approved by the Cover
nor.
The Gazette. also published in Mr..
Turner's county says:
s'Mr. Turner may consider the
banquet complimentary to himself,
but it would have been far more so
had the instigators been actuated
by the honest motive to make it
complimentary, rather than have
the banqet for political reasons and
endeavor to make it appear as a
complimentary outburst. =
Had Mr.. Turner no prospects
of being nominated for his present
position this fall, complimentary
banquet in honor of our Comptroller
would have been as unheard Of as it
would have been unnecessary. Call
that ''loye-feast" Democratic
jubilee for political purposes and
publish it as such, then the people
viii read Of it as. they now think of
it."
And that's just what the honest
people think about it too.

A DANISH officer judges his sol
diers by the shape of their noses,
and selects his subordlnates from
among those who have aquiline or
Roman noses, because such a nose
indicates judgment, reason and
egotism. However meritorious a
soldier may be, he finds no favor if
he presents shapeless and clumsy
nose, or one that is straight and

for recorder of deeds was a bungle,

ed to be prohibited. The only effect
of whisky as a beverage being to de-
stroythe happiness of individuals and
communities, it is sought to remove
the evil by prohibiting its sale as
such. The State and Farms logic
applies as forcible to liquor as to the
pocket pistol, or even more so, for be-
ing a greater evil than the pocket
pistol, the duty of suppressing it is
increased in like ratio.

THE Springfield, Mass, Farm and
Home has been for some months ag-
itating the question of the Govern
ment again beginning the issue of
fractional paper currency. There is
quite a demand for it from a large
class of tradesmen who do consider
able business through the mails, and
for this purpose it is certainly a great
convenience. A great deal of it be-
comes mutilated and destroyed, it is
true, which is a loss to the people,
but we don't know if the loss in frac-
tional silver by wear isn't equally as
great. The government now holds
some eight or nine million dollars in
reserve for the redemption of frac-
tional paper currency, which will
never be presented for redemption.
Postage stamps are not adapted to
transmission through the mails as
currency, but in the absence of any
thing better, they very frequently
have to perform that function.

No prohibitionist has ever been
found rash enough to say that the
manufacture and sale of wine and
other liquors was a crime in itself.
The amendment admits that it is
good for medicinal, mechanical and
other purposes. Then it has a good
in itself and cannot be prohibited
without doing violence to the spirit
of free government. So the army
pistol being of utility per Sc is not
prohibited. The pocket pistol being
used only as a weapon to destroy hu-
man life, and having no good initself

MANY of the anti newspapers of
the State claim that if the amend
ment carries it will deprive the State
of the big license fees paid by the sa-
looms, thus reducing therevenue,a and
turn the liquor traffic over to the
drug stores. All drug stores which
sell liquor are required to pay tip
piers license, and the adoption of the
amendment will not deprive the State
Of the right to continue this license
upon the liquor-selling drug stores.
The amendment does not destroy the
power of the State to regulate and
heavily tax the sale of liquors by
drug stores, and the State, counties
and corporations will still receive a
large revenue from this source. The
ants who make a pet hobby of regu-
lation and high license, can exercise
these functions to their hearts con-
tent on the drug stores, and the pro-
hibitionists will heartily second their
efforts ~ the good work.

fight in Tennessee"
THEa above appears in the course of a
three-column editorial in the Lebanon
Herald, on the prohibition question.
1t might be interesting if such a feat
were possible, but the top rail of that
fence is so sharp that no editor in
Tennessee can sit upon it without get
ting "split up the back" 1t is the
duty of every newspaper in the State
to take an active part in the fight. 1t
is a question that vitality concerns
the future welfare of every man, wo-
man and child in the State, and there
is no room for fence riders. Every
newspaper which is not boldly and
unfinching advocating the amend
ment, is passively or actively aiding
the opposition.
